SIR JOHN MALCOLM. We yesterday extracted an article respecting this Gentleman from a Morning Paper, insert ed under our usual head of LONDON JOURNALS, but our respect for his character induces U 3 this day to resume the subject. At no period of the history of our Empire in India did the service of the East India ,Company present a greater display of individual talent than at the present moment ; the measure, therefore, of selecting' a successor to Sir EVAN NEPEAN from that class is likely to be tried under the most favourable circumstances.— SirJoHN MaLcoLm we find is a candidate,and with out intending to disparage the merits of his compe titors, we may be allowed to declare our opinion, that he presents an anion of qualifications which should entitle him to a preference. As a States man, his name must live wilt) those of Lord IVELLESLEY and Sir BARRY CLOSE, in the annals of lndia, and, as a Soldier, with those of the Duke of IVFLLINGTON, Lord LAKE, and the present GOVERNOR-GENERAL. His services have extended from the extremrst South to the farthest North of India, and there is scarcely a political transaction, during the last twenty years, in which he has not been engaged either by action or advice. The events of the first MahrArta War, and the Embassies to Persia, placed Sir JOHN MALCOLM, at different times, in such intonate communica tion with the then Governor of Bombay, that every detail of the political, military, and finan cial administration of that Presidency came under his personal knowledge, if not superintendance therefore, were every other ground of selection with his competitors equal, this latter circum stance, obviously peculiar, would seem sufficient to produce a decision in his favour. The ap pointment of Sir JOHN AI ALCOLM would, from the high estiMation in which he is held by the Natives, and of the Cancan and Deckan, give a consideration to the administration of the Bombay Presidency, which the contemplated increase of the territory under its jurisdiction will render most especially necessary. By his brother Officers, and even by the Civil Servants of the East India Com pany, his prominent claims ate so decidedly felt, and he is personally so highly esteemed, that the propriety of the appointment would be at once ad mitted. FOR THE SUN. MR. EDITOR,—When I sent a crude suggestion addressed to the Marquis IVELIASLEY, and which yon (lid me the favour to print in THE SUN of Monday last, I did not expect to furnish ma terials fur a bumourous reply. I selected the No ble Marquis as a person the most likely to know whether my hints deserved notice, and the most Ern) to use then), if eligible. Although not en gaged in the linear business Of a Government desk, as your one•strokeCorrespondent possibly may be, still it does not. follow . that I may be unable to sketch out plans beyond the extent of his ruler. A very slender inqnity would have informed your Correspondent that many sovereignties in the East Indies have fallen into our entire posses sion by conquest. Some of those subjected states have had the lands restored to native sovereigns anti people in perpetuity, for example, those conquered by Marquis CORNWALLIS ; hut others remain at the disposal of the British Government, anti even at this day are settled upon Sepoy inva lids, as rewards and maintenance on their being, discharged the service. Whether the charter of the India Company forms an insuperable impedi ment to the kind of transfer which I projected ? %%theater the supposed or real rights of native Princes ? or our present dislike to colonization ? are questions of primary import. But if those difficulties are removeahie, I have enough of gene ' ral knowledge upon the subject to assert, that some plan, grounded upon . an extensive and bold allotment of our national domains, might at once tree time country front that evcessive burthen of debt which both endangers our internal tranquil lity, and exposes us, while unprovided, to the ma chinations of external enemies. Ido not, how ever, seek a controversy with your " one-stroke" writer, because, like myself, he seems to he equally liable to mistakes, and as he has chosen a Signature which admits of an apology, accord ing to the definition of EUCLID, I will conclude that his humourous stroke meant, " length, with out breadth or thickness." Your's, A. C. FOR THE SUN. MR. EDITOR,-With extreme regret I have to announce the loss of four men of his Majesty's Revenue Cutter Camelion, Lieut. Pottosay com mander, who unfortunately were drowned, com ing on shore from the cutter to their station, at one of the Martelli Towers, from whence they had been for provisions early in the morning, and were returning about 11 A. M. Yesterday an of ficer and two men saved themselves by swimming on shore, but with great difficulty, as the surf was very short and high, the wind blowing S. S. East, which is right on this coast. The accident happened about one mile and a lrilf to the west ward of this town. Yours, &c. Hastings, Sept. 21, 1818. SINGULAR DrscovEltv.—Ou Tuesday last, Mr. MARK LAND, the Magistrate of Queen-,quare Po lice Office, while performing his Magisterial du ties at the Office, was requested by a Gentleman to attend On an Officer's widow, residing. at Bethnal-green, at any convenient time, for the ptirpose of administering an oath, and signing an affidavit, to authorize her to receive her husband's pension, the Lady being bed-ridden and unable to attend herself. Mr. MARKLAND accordingly repaired to the place on Thursday morning last, and after pet forming his necessary duties, in the course of conversation, from various circum stances, he discovered that she was his aunt, and instead of being a Captain's widow, she was the widow of an Admiral ; and by this fortunate in terview, her fortune changed, and added consi deniblv to her pension, which loss she had sus tained since Ler husband's death. POET R 7. (FROM THE GREEK This Life a Theatre we well may call, Wh , re es'ry Actor must perform with art; Or laugh it through, and wake a farce of all, Or learn to play with grace his tragic part.. AMERICAN POETRY. [Frani the Franklin Gazette.] " This world is all a fleeting shew." There is an hour of peaceful rest, To mournint; wand'rers given : There is a tear for souls distrust, A halm for ev'ry wounded breast— 'Tis found above—in heaven ! There k a soft, a downs' bed, 'Tis fair as breadth of even; A couch for weary mortals spread, Where they may rest the aching head, And find repose in heaven ! There is a home for weeping souls, By sin and sorrow driven ; When tort on life's tempestuous shoals, Where storms arise and ocean rolls, And all is drear—but heaven! There faith lifts up the tearful eye, The heart with anguish riven ; And views the tempest pa%sine by, The evening shadows quickly fly, And all serene—in heaven! There frtgrant How'rs immortal bloom, And joys supreme are given; There Kays divine disperse the gloom, Beyond the confines of the tomb, Appears the dawn of heaven! REGISTER OF FASHION. ARRIVALS.

EXTRAORDINARY SONINOLIINCY.—On Thursday, the 17th inst., JOHN HOGARTH, of Fi rbank, Westmorland, a young man, who for some time back has. gone to Howgill school, arose from his bed fast asleep, and went a distance of two miles and a half before he awoke, and, to his, great astonishment, found himself sitting in Howgill Chapel porch, adjoining the said school. He afterwards went above a mile, to a friend's house, to borrow some clothes, as his only co vering was a shirt and nightcap. He has not received the. least injury, though the night was frosty, excepting in his feet, which were much bruised. The following day, in the road by which he went, were found his Greek Testament and Bible, which he had been reading the night before, according to cus tom ; and a slate was alsq found at the school door, It appears that he had called to see a friend as usual by the way, and on approaching the door, bad said, " what are you in bed yet :" and being asked what he wanted, replied " I am going to school, sure," and matched off. AUDACIOUS ROBBERY.—Another ofthose robbe. r i e s which are so frequently committed about squares, and places leis frequented, took place on Thursday evening. Maria Waller, servant to J. P. Prescott, Esq. Nottiugham•street, went away in the evening, at nine o'clock, with a bundle, and 121. in money ; and on her way to a friend, in the Hampstead Road, she was accosted by a well dressed man, who obtruded his conversation upon her, and made splendid offers of protection, all of which she rejected. He persisted in walking by her side, and at the north-west angle of Fitzroy square, he snatched her bundle of linen, which contained a small box with the money, and thus deprived the poor girl of her all, the fruits of her industry.

EDlToa,—Hdving observed a day or two azo that you so justly espoused the cause or OLa Day itY, and defended it ..4ainit (I would Anon say) the malicious attacks of those who, under the profession of strict impartiality, too trequewly delude their readers into a belief of all they advance, I feel anxious to enlist under your banners, and I trust to your wonted libel ality for permission to erect toy standard. The powers of the Press are great and extensive, and when exerted fairly and impartially are capable of being highly bene ficial to the public, as well as to particular indi viduals ; but when malice, prejudice, or interest, obtain the least ascendancy, the consequences are quite the contrary, and often serious. I have pre wised thus much, conceiving that these ate essen tials which it would he well for the Editor of that Morning Paper, whose severity so loudly called tor your reproof, to bear in mind,—and How to the point. Since the commencement s of this Season of Drury-Lane, 1 have heel' a constant observer both of the exertions made by the Managers in suppott of it, awl of the Criticisms front time to time produced upon it by the pen of this most impartial b;ditor, and I have no hesitation in saying that front that titne to the present he has pursued a constant system of condemnation ; the flew per formers are weak and unsuccessful, the old ones are not so happy as they used to be, and t he manage ment is execrable. These are the words, and these too from a quarter which is daily lauding forth its boasts'of impartiality.-0 tenzirora ! Solely, Sir, such discouragement must be high ly depressing to the performers, destructive of improvement in the drama, and detrimental to the parties interested. Would it be improper to sug gest that this respectable and mast impartial Paper is in some way connected with a rival Theatre I am, Sir, your humble servant, AN'FICHRON.* • By this signature the Writur would seem to ref►r to The ilfurning Chruniefe; but howeverwe may differ from the po litics of that Paper, we consider its theatticA criticisms as generally judicious and candid. That was not the Morning Print against which our censure was directed. UNIVERSITY IN'T'ELLIGENCE. OXFORD, SEP/. 26. PREFERRED•—The Rev. W.

CHESTER CATHEDRAL.--We are happy to say, that the subscription tor the repairs of this vene t able edifice, is in a flourishing state, and already amounts to nearly Four Thousand Pounds.— Hitherto, the contributions received have been chiefly from the county, and ther other parts of the Diocese ; it is now time for the city to evince its liberality, in contributing towards the rev it it• tiou of its greatest ornament. It is well-known that the Capitular funds are completely exhaust ed : and unless the repairs be complete, the Church will in a few years become a heap of ruins This should operate as a stimulus to our fellow-citi zens, and we hope it will have that elect.--• (Chester Chronicle, Sept. 25 ) JUDICIAL. CENSURE..-tit the late Cirnarvon Sessions, J. Jones, a drover, was tried for uttering forged notes, and notwithstanding 31 witnesses established the charge, and Mr. Glover, inspector to the Bank of England, traced 39 notes to have been paid by the prisoner to different individuals in purchasing cattle, the Jury reunited a verdict of—Nut Next day the saute prisoner wa* indicted tor having forged notes 61 his possessi,n, and the Jury again returned a verdict of—Not Guilty. Chief Baron RicHAttos then said, " soner, you have been tried for a very great of fence, but the Jury, both yesterday and to-day, thought proper to hring in a verdict of —sot Guilty. Such a verdict, after sad' a tiras of evi dence, must be extremely prejudicial to the public interest ; and, for toy own part, 1 cannot con. ceive how they can answer it to their Own con sciences ! That you are guilty is as clear as two and two make four. However, if your conduct in future prove honest, it may he considered is fortunate co cumstance ; but should you ever ap pear at that bar, I hope you will serer 111Vvi Jury so unjust." Thi, was delivered in the most solemn manner, and seemed to be felt by the whole Court. By a recent regulation in the naval service &r -ing peace, all sea-going ships, at how, and abroad, are to be paid off at the expiration of every third year, thereby discontinuing the ser vices of Commissioned and Warrant Officers then in employment, and giving an opening for others, in their respective ranks, for the practice of their naval tactics. Ships abroad are relieved aK their date of service may expire under this regulation ; they are paid off on their arrival in England, and it on survey found tit for further service, are re commissioned, without the trouble and ex pence of dismantling, and returning their several store. 3. There is scarcely a ship of war now at home that has not undergone this regulation, for the benefit of naval officers and the service at large.
